REMAINS OF A VOLCANO.
Prof Davis Interesting Disc,v In the
Connecticut Valley.

Pro. Davis Interesting Disc pvery In tho
Connecticut Valley.
The recent discovery of the re-
inains of volcano near Mount Lamcu-
taiion, the highest peak in the chain Of
the Meriden hills, has excited the KEEN
est interest in scientific circles. 1t has
furnished new key to thc geological
history of the Connecticut valley. The
discovery was made by Prof w. N.
Davis, of Harvard University. He has
been engaged in making an exhaustive
study of the trap-rock of this State,
and he made his happy discovery of
volcanic ruins while searching for I'M
entirely different class of geological
pnenomena.
Mount Llmentaton has been visited
by large numbers of people during the
past weeks. The various scientific as
sociations of the State. and several
geologists of national repute, have
carefully examined the interesting
ouriositv. No volcanic cone or crater
is still visible, but the phenomena of the
place clearly Indicate that in the triassic
age violent explosive eruptions OF
regular volcanic type were frequent
Geologiss have long known that tho
trap-rock Of the Connecticut valley
came up in u molten condition and
aftelward soldiied. This liquid mass
sometimes oyerllowcd the su.f,lce like
lava streams. and was subsequently
covered up by strata of sandstone.
Prot Davis has discovered what is
technically known rs an ash-bed, 1t
is Il deposit formed when molten lava
is thrown high into tho air by violent
explosions, aud comes down in " con-
fused mass, coarse and fine. In the
triussic period when these erlptions oc-
,curred there must have been regular
cones and craters of the usual type,
but these have all been effaced. IL is
very probable that other as-beds may
exist in the range Of Mcriden hills.
The geological history of this region
has always afforded rich field for
scientific research, and the recent vol-
canic discovery has given II greater
scientific boom to it. - Middietown

FOOLISH CRIMINALS.
Men Who Fight n Losing Battle and Mar,
to Certain Defeat.

to Certain Defeat.
The professional criminal, looking
at the subject from the low plane OF
personal advantage. is certainly a
weak-minded and short-sightcd indi-
vidual. There is an element of idiocy
in all "crooks," however shrewd or
cunning they may be in the prosccu-
ton of their nefarious specialties. They
all possess short-sighted moral vision
which does not enable them to discern
the relation between cause and effect.
He is, indeed. dull pupi! whom a
hundred generations of criminal history
does not teach that "he who sows the
wind shall reap the whirlwind." But
still they go fatuitously sowing the
wind expecting to garner in their
sheaves of gentle summer zephyrs.
That the way of the transgressor is
hard has been proven as indubitably by
experience rs any proposition in geome-
try. Bank burglars, who have held in
their possession millions of stolen prop
erty, almost inevitably come to the low
est grade of poverty and are finally
taken and die in confinement and dis
grace. Expert forgers and counter
feiters--men of unusual artistic skill
and cleverness-almost invariably lose
their ill-gotten gains. and die like out
casts in prisons or penitentiaries, who,
ii their talents had not been so woefully
misspent, might have lived in the af-
fluence which their skill would have
gathered around them. Surely there is
some fatal obliquity in the moral and
intellectual vision of such men. The
most cunning shrewdness OF the GRIM
inal is akin to idiocy.
The feats of the jessie James gang
were frequently bold and brilliantly
executed; but no man Of well-balanced
mind looking from the low standpoint
of prudence, would engage in such en-
terprises. They subject themselves to
a life of insanity. violence and danger;
and detection and punishment is in
evitable. The career OF the notorious
Stain gang in New England forcibly
illustrates this truth. Stain and Croml-
we'll are evidently men "f good abili.
ties and some education, who might
have attained u position Of respecta-
bility, il not of prominence. in any
community. But they fatuitously pur-
sued another course; and now in
poverty, and amid tho excavations OF
good and bad men alike, they stand in
the shadow of the gallows. From the
DAYS of Captain Kidd to til days OF

CANINE INSTINCT.
How Dogs Are Enabled to Follow the
Trail of Their Masters.

Trail of Their Masters.
Some very interesting experiments
were recently made in England to de-
tcrmine how it is that tho dog is en-
abled to follow the trail of his master.
A gentleman used for series of tests
pointer with which he had hunted for
several years. Every precaution was
taken to prevent the dogs being guided
by any thing but the sense of smell.
The hunter. with his hunting boots on,
first walked about q mile over the grass,
turning in various directions, and then
hid himself. The dog, not having seen
him, of course, was brought to the
starting-placc, when he ut once took
the trail and followed it rapidly and
accurately until he found his master
The hunter then headed procession
of twelve persons walking Indian file,
each man being careful to place his feet
in the footprints of the man preceding
him. After walking two hundred yards
the hunter turned to the right, followed
by onc-half Of the men, and the other
half turned to the left. Each party
made number of turns and detours,
and then concealed themselves. Tho
dog, when put on the trail, followed it
promptly, and at the point OF separa-
tion, without u moments hesitation,
turned to the right, as his master had
done.
A stranger to the dog then put on the
masters hunting boots, and after tho
same precautions the dog followed the
tracks rs quickly rs he had followed his
masters. When the master wore the
boots of the stranger the dog would not
follow. nor would he follow the trail OF
the stranger when he walked with naked
feet, but he did follow his master under
the same conditions, though slowly and
with much hesitation. The hunter tried
wearing new boots, and the dog refused
to follow. He then resumed his hunt
ing-boots, after pasting paper under the
soles and along the sides; but the dog
paid no attention to the trail until
point was reached where q very small
piece of tho paper had fallen from the
boot; from that on the trail was fol-
lowed rapidly.
In the last experiment, the hunter.
with his hunting-boots on free of paper.
walked fifty yards. and then drew of
his boots and walked three hundred
yards barefoot, but holding his boots in
his hand. which hung down. Then,
raising his arm and still holding tho
boots. he walked three hundred yards
more. The dog when placed on the
trail followed the whole distance with.
out hesitation. - Boston Advertiser.

while it is sure TO receive the cordial
support of all employers. We are not
surprised, therefore, to learn that, al
though only about year old, it has
already passed beyond the experimental
stage and is we'll established in number
of the leading cities throughout the
country. The prominence given it by
its share in the settlement of the Mil
waukee strike must inevitably give
great impetus to the organisation. When
the printers in that city, went OUT
without any good cause, it may be noted
the officers of the fraternity immedi-
ately notified members in Cleveland, st.
Louis, Kansas City, and other places, who
were seeking work, that they could get
employment at Milwaukee. The vacan
cles were thus speedily filled, and with an
excellent class of men, too, since nobody
can BE admitted unless he has a good
character and is competent workman.
The better class of printers have long
been restless under the tyranny of the
Typographical union, and they are ready
heartily to welcome SO excellent sub
stitute as the Printers Protective Fra

The Hand Was Too Big to Handle
Buffalo Express.

Four or five gentlemen sat around a
round table In an uptown hotel. Five
dollars was the limit, and all players
were friends and men of means. The
boldest buffer of the party found him
self at dealing, and looking over his hand
discovered five, six, seven, eight and
nine = all spades; they were playing
straights and the hand was almost irwin
cible-a straight flush. One man came
into the 81 ante, and the dealer raised it
two. His opponent said five BETTER and
the owner of the straight flush made 1t
good. Why he did not raise no one
knows, and his adversary, who held three
aces, felt as bad as anybody about it. And
right here another funny thing happened
he got his fourth ace. Here was the
chance of a lifetime for both men, &C.
cording to all appearances; but see what
happened.
The dealer bet So; No. raised him
So; and the dealer studied. At last he
laid his cards on the table, face down,
and said:
''Boys, what want to know is does a
straight flush beat four aces?"
He was told that it did and raised back
So.
His opponent promptly called, and
the hands were shown. There was
almost howl OF surprise all around, and
the dealer was be.eiged for an explana-
ton.
Cant tell what was the matter with
me- he said, II felt as if were dreaming
when I saw the hand, and I didn't know
what 10 do with it.

heard the compliment paid to him by a
comedy girl. He had seen her in company
with somebody he knew.
''Whe was the pretty girl you were so
sweet to-" he asked.
''Well, won't stand any chance if she
sees much of you"
"Why?" and the clubman's face began
to beam.
"You should have heard what she said
about you."
"What was it?" AID flush of unex-
pected pleasure spread over him.
"Oh my!" she said, "what nice-looking
